I made the mistake of treating my Motorola ray with copper

[FishyTJ]

I had a scare after seeing ich in my display tank on three other fish and treated the 275 gallons with enough copper safe for a 200 gallon tank. The ray now has what looks like raised black spots throughout the body and small patches of light brown tear drop shaped spots about the size of large ich under her eyes and along other parts of her body (predominately the eyes). I'm currently doing a large water change after rereading the specifics of which medicines are safe for rays. Does anyone have any advice? I should have been more cautious but I misread a thread saying there was a hype on medications hurting rays

Breathing isn't heavy and water parameters are fine

Also substrate looks very rough in the picture but her belly hasn't shown any signs of being scratched and she happily covers herself in it

Any products that contain copper is not to be used in aquariums containing saltwater sharks or ray's. Tbh don't really know for sure if it applies to freshwater rays.

The little black spots are normal on rays, I think you will be fine after doing some water changes and flushing it out of the system, If the ray is still eating and seems more or less normal i think your fine, just keep up with the water changes. We all do something stupid now and then and sometimes we save ourselves from it and sometimes not, hopefully your going to be all good.

Run carbon too. That will pull any left over traces of copper
